Monday Matters!

5 miles this morning on the treadmill @ an 8:00 pace. I went into the run thinking my legs were going to be pretty sore after Saturday’s race but they felt great!

Will somebody please remind me each morning to take off my necklace when I run because this is a daily occurrence.

Met up with my mom and Brooke started her sprint towards her the second she saw her.

Santa’s house is already up and ready to go.

Came across this gum and it brought back 100s of memories of begging my mom for this gum at the store when I was a kid. The thought of fruity gum PLUS temporary tattoos combined was just extra exciting to me as a kid.

Met my sister for the salad that dreams are made of—> a chicken green chile salad. She had coupons which made them pretty cheap which made them taste even better.

Rewind to last night—> we had TACOS. My niece requested tacos with hard shells for her birthday dinner.

We did the present thing and Brooke is back to requesting to wear her Princess Sophia nightgown as much as possible.

My niece is obsessed with chocolate and so my mom made her favorite Ghirardelli brownies (one of the best things to buy at Costco) and we topped it with ice cream.

Somehow my nephew it kind of a big dealing and growing like crazy. I don’t know how I feel about this. When I started this blog he was just a lil’ guy.

My other nephew is all ready for Movember.

My friend had a calculator watch and I wore it. Haven’t seen one of these in quite some time.

From my mom:

Multi-tasking while filling up my mom’s car with gas on the way home from St. George after the race—> stretching and froyo eating.

I’m pretty sure I go through a pack of these a month. How do hair ties disappear so fast?? My other two items that I lose constantly—> socks (one sock of each pair somehow disappears) and bobbi pins.

I lose my hair ties all the time. I also lose my keys and cell phone alot. You’d think I’d know by now to set them in the same place, but no.

Fruit Stripe gum. I think I always wanted it as a kid but it was always terrible! It always lost its flavor after like 5 seconds and then got hard. Definitely reminds me of my childhood though! My husband and I bought Big League Chew not too long ago because we both loved it as kids. Um…it was better when I was a kid! It’s so sweet!

I’m running this evening, which is the first time I’ve run so late in a long time but I wanted to spend the morning with my mom before she left town. I always lose bobby pins. When we moved I found so many while cleaning! Monday matters: I signed up for my second marathon and it’s on a net downhill course in the mountains near me!

The Jack & Jill Marathon in North Bend! They had closed registration for a bit, but reopened it this morning for a few more spots. It’s at the end of July and it’s supposed to be a fast and pretty course – they have a half as well!

Just got back from my run and it was great! I ran on the course that all of my middle school and high school cross country meets were so it brought back tons of memories. I’m surprised I felt so good because I just got off my highest mileage week in months and went rock climbing this weekend. I’ll take it!

I’ve lost so many earrings. I only have the cheaper ones from Claire’s and Target for that reason! I’ve never had diamond earrings :) I usually knock the back off with my headphones or my ear band if it’s cold, and then they disappear!

It was a gym day for me. I’m super tired now from waking up so early. Ice cream or froyo sounds really good right now. (I’m expecting #3 so it must be the start of the cravings) or maybe it’s just because it’s always yummy

I used to put those fruit stripe tattoos on my tongue – only lasts a second, but we thought it was hilarious.

I lose hair ties and pens constantly. I can never find a pen when I need one, and they’re all over the house.

My run today was pretty good. I’ve been taking my dog with me and trying to build up his mileage. He’s up to 3 miles now, and he absolutely loves it. It’s nice to run with him because I worry more about him than myself so it keeps me distracted while we’re running.

I am running after work today…only for about 20-25 minutes. I made myself take 2 weeks off after my last half-marathon, but I am also on exercise restriction right now because of a procedure I had last week. :/ But…I am stubborn and I want/need to see how my body reacts.

Also…the Ghiradelli chocolate brownies from Costco…BEST.THING.EVER!!!

One of my hair ties snapped the other day right off my head as I was driving but I didn’t panic because I just reached inside my purse for another one.

I changed into my running clothes after work, clocked out, and headed out on a run on new-to-me roads. I had never done that before! It felt great to drive home knowing my run was already done. And it was a strong run so that was a plus :)

Monday Matters: It’s a cold, rainy day in TN so I made a big pot of Sweet Potato and Cauliflower soup….so good!
I always lose my cellphone! I set it down and can never find it.
My legs felt tired and heavy this morning, but it’s to be expected one week after NY.

I constantly loose chapsticks! i swear all the lost items are hanging out somewhere! Today it’s raining so I ran pretty fast, well pretty fast for me on the treadmill and it felt awesome! In the moment I was thinking not so much but afterwards it felt pretty awesome. I ran 5 miles this weekend with the stroller which is still kind of new to me. I was pretty sore yesterday so I’m really happy with how today turned out!

I am constantly losing bobby pins too! I take them all out in one place and I swear they scatter in the middle of the night. Now I’m drinking kombucha and hoping my stomach feels better for a run tomorrow, nothing like good ol’ food poisoning to get the week off to a great start!

You have such beautiful eyes Janae! I don’t know why this is the first time I have noticed them in my four years of reading your blog! I think I am always sidetracked by your voluminous eyelashes which continue to impress me. Regardless, love your eyes!

Curly’s hair = gorgeous!!! Love that she got all dolled up for her birthday dinner. She also totally looks like Brooke in that picture. You could easily pass the two off as sisters and I am pretty sure you would have every person fooled. Both adorable miniature versions of their mothers!

I ran last night – and it was blustery and dark, but I loved it. It’s so autumnal with the leaves swirling round my feet. (Although on several occasions I almost screamed, thinking they were mice or similar).

NB: LOVE autumn running. Must remind self of this when running home from work tonight.

I feel your pain with your nephew being so big. I don’t have nephews, but my cousin, Jake, who is nine years younger than me was always a little brother. He’s a super tall Air Force guy and married now. Boy, do I feel old! :’-(

We have 2 playful cats – and I KNOW that is where my bobby pins and hair ties are going!…under the rugs, under the furniture, in the water bowls, etc. If I want to keep them, I have to put them in the drawer! Ice cream and brownies…yummmm :)
